I will continue to make the problem mine when it comes to bullies!.. the only way to fight bullies is to take extreme measures to stop it and if that means being physical then so be it! I teach my kids the same way... to fight bullying when they see it and if they don't then they too are part of the problem. I agree with the author on the strong sense of hate and disgust for bullies and that we as a society are obviously not doing enough to shame those that practice such horrible characteristics! A bully around me will find conflict.. I'm not super man but I am willing to die to stop this regardless of right or wrongAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08767391895010346530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3966316529291694099.post-12152949656811606092016-07-04T14:16:11.538+01:002016-07-04T14:16:11.538+01:00I remember my poor Mum telling me that all she wan...I remember my poor Mum telling me that all she wanted to do was drag the worst of the bullies off the school bus by his damn hair and scream at him to look at what he was doing to me. But she was utterly helpless, because she knew that if she grabbed a teenage boy and yelled at him, the courts would view HER as being in the wrong and things would worsen for our family. Plus, she's just not a violent person, so the very fact that she felt so strongly speaks volumes about the level of Hell I was going through every day. It just sickens me that the school did so little to help. I can completely understand anyone who worries about their children experiencing bullying and I totally agree that we should all be standing up to it and calling it out whenever we see it!mrsmanicshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09894116750061022896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3966316529291694099.post-23767659855748720292016-06-28T19:28:06.936+01:002016-06-28T19:28:06.936+01:00If my son is bullied like that I wouldn't hold...If my son is bullied like that I wouldn't hold back, especially if he is bullied so severely to consider suicide. I would find the bullies and hospitalize them, maybe I'd spend time in jail but it's better than some of the alternatives. Children are forced to go to school as per our laws, but there are no laws to protect them from the escalating violence they are subjected to. If a coworker of mine did any of those things you describe they would be fired and in jail, but with kids it is somehow seen as a right of passage to suffer in our school system. We all need to stand up and say enough is enough. When my oldest son was born, my biggest fear for his future was the thought of bullying from other kids, now that he is coming close to school age, I feel sick to my stomach at the thought of leaving him in a school all day. It is terrifying for parents to start their children in the school system because of violence, this is so outrageous! I feel the same hateful rage at bullying that you do, and more so at the adults within the schools and the government who continue to allow kids to be hurt and killed. There is a special place in hell for those peopleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3966316529291694099.post-5596690096606383572016-04-27T11:55:45.992+01:002016-04-27T11:55:45.992+01:00I can understand that feeling.

My heart goes out to you and your son.mrsmanicshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09894116750061022896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3966316529291694099.post-44002752668889961252016-04-26T16:47:23.285+01:002016-04-26T16:47:23.285+01:00As a parent it takes every ounce of control not to...As a parent it takes every ounce of control not to find the kids hat bully my son and tear them to pieces!
